a rogue novice,​experimenting with home decor in northern virginia

And so! We meet again! Muahaha...have I got a crazy before & after for YOU!

It seems like it's been a hundred years since I posted about my friend Eryn's Kitchen Facelift, promising to "be back soon" with photos of her master bathroom renovation. In reality, it was only about nine months.Honestly, "soon" is such a relative term, am I right?

Obligatory background: We live in a neighborhood full of "cozy" {small} and "charming" {dated} cottages and colonials which were built in the early 1980s. Eryn's particular model has something which was pretty uncommon in that era: A master suite on the first floor. Which was great! But too small, and not nearly fabulous enough.

Here is the original layout:

Below are the "Before" shots. Not horrible, just very small and very...basic:

Below is The Plan {insert dramatic music here}.You can see that in addition to the master bathroom, the powder room and closets were also completely reworked {stay tuned for those posts}:

{Side note: Below is my absolute FAVORITE kind of "During" photo. Whoa mama! What a mess. I love it...because I didn't have to live with it!}

And finally...below are the "After" shots. I'm truly in awe of Eryn's incredible vision and tenacity {and she obviously had some awesome contractors, too}. ;-)What. A. Project.

Details, beautiful details...love it all. Everything is very personal and has special meaning to Eryn and her husband.

LOOK at this tile feature wall. I. Almost. Died.

Stunning...right?!Eryn, thank you so much for being a two-time Reston Remodelista! I can't wait to come back and do projects # 3, 4, 5...32, 33, 34... :-)
